IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

Yes and noI've known quite a few performing-arty types that have, or have known people that have, tried out for this kind of thing.
There are several pre-audition screening rounds, that you get through by being either good or awful. The awful ones get told by several separate groups of producers that they are brilliant, the best they've EVER seen, and will be a star. They then walk out full of undue confidence, thinking that they will be brilliant, are terrible instead, make a tit of themselves in front of thousands of people, get ritually humiliated, and then have a nervous breakdown on tv once they realise that they're just a sad fantasist like the nasty thoughts tell them.
They still probably deserve it, mind.
